Snoop Dogg has reportedly sued a woman and her legal team for attempting to extort $5 million from the rapper in exchange for concealing an alleged assault against the woman at a show last year, according to a lawsuit filed in Superior Court on Dec. 10.

The lawsuit alleged that the defendant, identified as Jane Doe, and her attorneys threatened to offer specifics about the alleged assault for money to The National Enquirer and a book publisher if Snoop refused to shell out the requested $5 million.

Snoop, born Calvin Broadus, maintained that he played no part in the alleged assault during a 2003 performance, according to the lawsuit.

The West Coast rapper sued for punitive damages and prevention of future threats.

Snoops publicist Meredith O´Sullivan offered no additional information about the alleged assault, the Associated Press reported, and also declined to name the womans attorneys.
